Alegre Home Care acquired by Transforming Age

PITTSBURGH, PA August 13, 2025 – Elder Care Alliance (ECA), a mission-driven nonprofit serving older adults across California, has announced that Alegre Home Care will join the organization, expanding Transforming Age’s nonprofit network and inclusive home care services in California. The strategic affiliation underscores ECA’s commitment to growing their impact and is guided by aligned values, shared dedication to inclusive practices, and similar people-first cultures.

The Braff Group served as the exclusive financial advisor for Alegre Home Care.

The Alegre Home Care team brings more than two decades of experience providing compassionate, in-home support to a wide range of individuals, with a deep commitment to inclusion and serving diverse communities across Northern California. With a team of more than 400 caregivers, Alegre has become one of the region’s most trusted providers of relationship-based, culturally aware homecare services and is currently providing more than 300,000 care hours a year for older adults in Northern California.

Alegre’s Founder and CEO, Charles Symes will remain in place to help with the ownership transition and will serve as Home Care Consultant to the broader organization, thereafter, preserving Alegre’s leadership stability and operational integrity.  “This affiliation is a meaningful step forward,” says Symes. “Over time, as I’ve come to know the people behind this long-standing nonprofit, I have been moved by how we share similar values of innovation, inclusion, affordability, connection, wellness, and compassion.”

Elder Care Alliance supports over 10,500 older adults through five residential communities and the Mercy Brown Bag Program. Alegre Homecare now joins this ecosystem of support, expanding the reach and impact across Northern California to over 11,000 older adults.

“By aligning our process to the goals and objectives of Alegre Home Care, we sought to find a partner that would strengthen the organization’s long-standing commitment to compassionate care across Northern California. This affiliation creates a positive impact for the employees, clients, and communities jointly served by both organizations,” commented Kris Novak, The Braff Group Managing Director that headed up the deal team representing Alegre Home Care.
